Saranoni Cares is Saranoni’s newest mission to bring comfort and friendship to individuals on a local scale. After our own family’s life changing experience of cancer, loss, (and the community that rallied around us), we committed to do more. 

Months before Nathan’s Glioblastoma diagnosis, he enthusiastically initiated a program he called “Saranoni Cares”.  He planned to  purchase and set aside thousands of dollars worth of our luxury blankets. After humanitarian work across seas, these blankets were meant to find a home a little closer to home with the people in our own community. Our first partnership was to be with Huntsman Cancer Institute. The arrangements were made and the blankets arrived in fall of 2021, months before Nathan’s sudden diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. 

The following weeks leading up to Nathan’s passing were both a blur and impermeably life changing. We were overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for the loving support of our community. Nathan, amid his treatments and declining physical ability, joked that, “we need to step up our game!” After his passing, the Saranoni Cares initiative is our commitment to do exactly that. Per our original plans, we returned to Huntsman Cancer in May of 2023, without Nathan but with full hearts, (and a U-Haul full of blankets!) We can’t wait to continue this tradition annually in our community.
